I recently purchased a 1991 Fourwinns with an OMC 350 engine. After pulling the numbers on the engine, the engine comes back as a 1990 5.7 L OMC.
Model and Serial: 574APRPWS , T01192508

I went to the BRP parts catalog and cant seem to match up some of the part numbers from there with the part numbers for some replacement parts on the Iboats catalog.

Im looking for an impeller kit, fuel filter, and fuel/water seperator. If anybody could help, I would greatly appreciate it, I have been staring at the computer for 2 days trying to figure this out. Thanks

Also, The motor has been sitting for numerous years and I will need to drain the fuel from the tank. Is there a secret to draining the tank or just stick a siphon tube down the filler neck and pump it out?

Do yourself a big favor and get the OEM water pump impeller.

Usually better to take the fuel guage sending unit off the tank and siphon it out. With the plate removed it's a lot easier to see what you are doing inside the tank and inspect the tank.

And DONT use a shop vac to suck out what the siphon wont pick up!

Thank you all for the very helpful information, I greatly appreciate it! I ordered the parts and will post more as I go along with the "light" refurbishing project. Thanks again.

ps, I also found this filter but its $28 and says its specifically a replacement for 174144. Its a 10 micron filter, not sure if that means its a better filter or what, just curious about the price disparity between this and the $8 filter above.

10 Micron Gasoline Spin-On Fuel Filter Element for B32014, Omc #174144 - Racor S3214 - iboats
